Using “this” with class name

Question

I am doing Android programming and was learning about Intents, when I saw a constructor that, to my C# trained mind, seemed funky. The call was:

Intent myI         


        

Answer 1

The syntax "Classname.this" is for inner classes. If you want to refer to the enclosing instance of type "Outerclass" then you do it as "Outerclass.this".

NextActivity.class is simply the Class object that describes class "NextActivity".
